Reply to comment by Yestattooshurt in Healey should give rural Massachusetts a seat at the table - The Boston Globe by GlobeOpinion

Are you under the impression that the only people living outside Boston, but within MA, are people who chose to live out there? Like they don't have connections, family, roots, or aren't people who grew up there, and call it home?

Of course not, but saying that for instance every county should have equal say is insane when middlesex has over a million people and Franklin has 70k

I don’t think it’s about having equal representation. I think it’s about making sure that certain communities aren’t invisible to the people in power. Nobody is suggesting they get extra votes in the legislature.
